AWS Transform now supports Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (Public Preview)

Today, AWS announced the public preview of a new storage migration capability for AWS Transform that enables customers to migrate block storage workloads from any on-premises or cloud source to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSx for ONTAP), in addition to Amazon EBS. AWS Transform for migrations is an agentic AI service that automates the discovery, planning, and migration of workloads, accelerating infrastructure modernization with increased speed and confidence. FSx for ONTAP is a fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp's ONTAP file system, allowing you to migrate on-premises applications that rely on NetApp ONTAP or other storage appliances to AWS without having to change how you manage your data. AWS Transform has supported migration of block storage from any source vendor, including NetApp, Dell, Pure Storage, and VMware environments, to Amazon EBS as part of compute rehosting. Now, customers can also choose Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as the migration target, for workloads that require ONTAP capabilities after migration.

Customers migrating to AWS have traditionally managed storage migration separately, using additional tools and workflows. With this new capability, AWS Transform replicates block storage data directly to FSx for ONTAP volumes as part of the same migration wave that handles compute and network, eliminating the need for intermediate storage platforms, separate migration tools, and the additional cost and risk they introduce. Whether migrating from NetApp ONTAP or any other storage platform, including block storage or NFS datastores in VMware environments, customers access a fully managed service that combines ONTAP's enterprise capabilities with the scalability and resiliency of AWS service.
